The same online publication mentioned above notes that the embattled crypto lender filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July, a month after halting withdrawals due to “extreme market conditions.”
BnkToTheFuture CEO Simon Dixon said in a Monday Twitter post that the declaration means that Celsius Network private equity shares are now “officially worthless.”
More than that, the co-founder wants to use them as a tax write-off.
I guess this is the official update that @CelsiusNetwork shares are officially worthless & the co-founder wants to use them as a tax write-off. At least shareholders understood the risks though it’s still painful for the community that invested in them. https://t.co/W9Q2GuCU9H
